CloudFlex v1.0.0
CloudFlex is an open-source Python package for modeling the observational signatures associated with the small-scale structure of the circumgalactic medium. It populates cool gas structures in the CGM as a complex of cloudlets using a Monte Carlo method. Various parameters can be set to describe the structure of the cloudlet complexes, including cloudlet mass, density, velocity, and size. Functionality exists for generating the observational signatures of sightlines piercing these cloudlet complexes, borrowing heavily from the Trident code.
This is the first release of the CloudFlex code. It is the state of the code at the point at which the CloudFlex method paper was submitted. The contributors to the codebase are:
